| Anyone using Nuforce Ref 9 Mono Blocks? For laughs I tried a pair of the Nuforce 8s. It turned out everyone was laughing but me. Yes the interference can be eliminated for FM by using a coax cable connected to your fm tuner. | |
| Adding tube buffer to Rotel instead of............ Nope, wouldn't do it. | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? TVAD, I totally agree with your statement above and makes alot of sense, very good point. By the way, I am already working on wearing them tubes out you sold me! They have proven to be exceptional in their sonic performance and at times hate to ev... | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? Michael Elliot of Counterpoint talked extensively about tubes in my owners manual and refered to them as fragile little devices. Here is part of what he had to say on the subject:"A tubes insides are far more fragile than the insides of a light bu... | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? I now use a combination of both ss & tubes, a tube preamp & solid state power amp although just recently picked up a tube power amp, specifically the Nobis Cantabile which has a Fet front end based on the classic Marantz 8B driving four EL... | |
| Pop sound when switching on / off Pass Aleph 30? Some power amps don't have muting circuits and when powered off it is possible for them to continue play music for a few seconds until their power supplies completely discharge. (Maybe you notice this with the Aleph 30). Amps of this design are mo... | |

| Reliability issue- PL-L remote I have a remote for a tuner, even though the batteries are new I have to tap it once in a while to get it to work. The battery contacts inside don't always make a firm connection. | |
| Amplifier Weight. A Factor? As Macrojack mentioned, it's all in how you start off. If you buy inefficient speakers you wind up with large heavy power amps. With my highly efficient speakers, my analog power amp only weighs 20 lbs and puts out 60 watts and can bring the music... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier Seneca it is more sonically advantageous to have a circuit that inverts phase because it is a simpler circuit requiring more attention to circuit design. On the other hand a circuit that does not invert phase has extra sound-degrading circuitry. M... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 Preamp I personally think solid state preamps sounds the best with the McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe amp after trying a few tube preamps with it. The McCormack RLD-1 (active) and the TLC-1 (passive) should be high on your list. | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier Tswhitsel, yes that is true that some folks are never happy with anything or perhaps, like you mentioned, they want to try the next hot item, which I myself have been guilty of. In fact I've been wanting to hear the Modwright 9.0 preamp, maybe mor... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier Why do you see these for sale all the time? | |
| Can anyone comment on the Audio Mirror Pp1 Preamp? Undertow, I did view your system, very nice! When you upgraded the caps, did you do it yourself because it looks like a very fine job? Anyway I checked my PP1 and there are no 12AU7s shipped with it (as Matrix mentioned), just what is printed on t... | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Cipherjuris, that is alot of money. Have you considered putting the money towards new mono blocks/ different technology, maybe the Nuforce 9s or are you determined to refurbish the Levinsons? If you are, thats excellent as well. An example only, I... |
